If you’ve ever had to miss class before, then you may have asked the professor to have the session recorded via Panopto. You then received a viewing link to view the recording and all you had to do was click on the link and Presto! the recording appeared. Only one small issue with that… a little thing called “security”.

In an effort to ensure a more secure environment for all class recordings, the Panopto service has now moved to an online authentication that prompts you to log into the service with your Pepperdine WaveNet credentials.

This means that when you get a viewing link now, you may have to “login” before you can view the session. This is super easy as long as you have a current Pepperdine network ID. All you have to do is follow the 3 steps listed below to login and “Viola” you’re watching your riveting class recording in no time!

1. Select the drop-down menu for the “Sign-in using” box.

2. Choose the “Pepperdine Network ID” option.

3. Then choose “Sign In” and sign in through the Pepperdine Portal to be connected.

Interested in recording your class? Panopto is Pepperdine University’s lecture capture system. The software is installed on every classroom computer and is simple to use.

If you plan on recording your class more than once a semester, please contact support@law.pepperdine.edu to request an account. You’ll get your recording links emailed to you automatically if you have an account.

There are different recording options, such as:

Audio– all recordings capture audio by default

PowerPoint– records the presentation slides you show on the class computer by default

Video– available for classrooms with cameras, records the front of the room only

Primary Screen– records any applications you use on the class computer, such as Word Documents, Web pages, Excel Files, TWEN Course page, etc.

1.) To start, click the Panopto icon on the desktop, or search for Panopto in the Windows Start Menu to launch the application.

2.) The default login will autofill. If you need the password, call the IS Help Desk, or pick up the in-room IS Support Desk help phone to be automatically connected to the help desk. Feel free to use your own username, if you have one.

3.) Double check that the settings you prefer are selected. Then click the Record button. You can minimize this application (don’t EXIT or close the program or shut off the computer) to show your class materials.
4.) When your class lesson is over, click the Stop button. Once you click stop and the recording begins to process, it’s okay to minimize the Panopto screen and leave the classroom. Contact the IS Help Line for help retrieving your recording link.
